Yesterday, River suffered an extremely important defeat in the tournament. The directing cast Martin Demichelis lost to Velez as a visitor. In fact, it is true that the coach had an extremely worrying result for the future because he was far from the best version of him. However, he was highly self-critical at the press conference.
After the defeat against Vélez, Martín Demichelis spoke at a press conference and was highly self-critical: «We had the worst first half since I have been in this institution and I considered that from there we were going to improve. Well, surely we improved a bit when Vélez was already 2-0 on the scoreboard and he withdrew a little more.
Besides Martín Demichelis referred to an extremely positive aspect that his team had: «We were able to be more dominant from possession and we took a shot on goal from afar with Barco that the goalkeeper took out. We got very little. There is a lot to analyze and correct. However, it is true that every time he plays as a visitor, his performance changes.
What other phrase did Martín Demichelis say?
The River coach also expressed his concerns after the match that was played yesterday: «It was a totally unknown River. It was one of our worst games since I took over. I’m worried. The solution cannot always come from the changes. I am concerned about the mechanism and how it works.”
In fact, it is true that he was extremely concerned about the performances of some footballers yesterday. However, it is clear that the football level of the institution is far from being ideal compared to what happened a few months ago. For now, he will have to find his way again after the bad step in the Copa Libertadores.
